Just noticed something interesting in the Bitcoin market. After that rally attempt to $70K back in early March, BTC has been consolidating around the mid-$60s. Currently sitting at $66.58K with some downside pressure, but the institutional money flow story is still pretty solid.

BlackRock's IBIT absolutely crushed it with $263 million flowing in during that March rally day - their biggest single-day inflow in months. Total spot Bitcoin ETF inflows hit $458 million that same day. What caught my eye is how this broke a rough patch they had in mid-February. Their total AUM on IBIT is now over $62 billion, which is a pretty massive milestone.

Meanwhile, MicroStrategy didn't waste time either. They grabbed another 3,015 BTC for about $204 million right around that same timeframe. These guys now hold over 720K Bitcoin total. The analyst Michael van de Poppe was noting how this kind of institutional accumulation during weakness is exactly what you want to see.

Digital asset investment products saw $1 billion flow in last week, which actually ended a five-week outflow streak. Bitcoin got most of that at $881 million. So despite the recent pullback, the accumulation thesis seems intact. Institutions are clearly using dips to load up rather than panic selling.
